Nope not Florida, I'm in Oregon at the moment, personal and business to some extent, I hadn't been back here in a few years.
bf2015, I am flattered, must mean I got a good capture when you recognized the area so quickly. Nope NOT a real Rock Climber, just one with a camera, I don't do the ropes and such, but I climb the trail, and get into the crevices for exploration.. Smith Rock is a fascinating area, but I think the WORST part of the whole hike/rock climb was when your coming back, and hiking up that slope back to the exit....GRRRRRRRR. I'll share the link with you when I get back home, got some great captures of that area, was a little sad the the river was so calm this day. The sun was beating down but there sure were a lot of climbers out there.
Anyways, have a good one all.
Peace,
Donna P.
I think it's a great photo. This is why I recognized it so fast...
I think we were probably standing in the same spot. And you are right, the climb out is not fun. Not sure you got around back to see Monkey Face, but here it is:

Take care and thanks for sharing with me.

You're only as good as your next photo....
One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation...I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me." Truman Capote

Yeah, like I said, I grew up in Jacksonville, and went to FSU (yep a Gator-hater ), but glad to be somewhere like the Northwest!
From a fellow climber, if you're ever up in the Northwest, let me know, and we'll do some 5.10s around here and some trad climbing! Or some ice climbing. So much up here to do.
Actually, that was a climber doing a very hard 5.12c aid route. We started up the big crack in the foreground, then up the "neck", into the "mouth", over the "nose" and up to the top. Great climb!
